imail started as a side project to fix cold email tools we were already paying for. Now it's a real product, run from the UAE, used by founders and sales teams who think pricing should be honest and software should just work.
There's no founder-genius origin story here. I (Zeeshan) was running outbound for my own businesses, paying for two different cold email tools that each charged $200+/month and broke in different ways.
One had per-mailbox pricing that ballooned when I added inboxes. The other had "unlimited mailboxes" but charged per workspace, per add-on, per "Smart" thing.
I'm a developer. I built imail to send my own outbound. Then a few friends asked to use it. Then a few of their friends. Now it's a real SaaS, and I'm doing the work to make it good enough that anyone can use it.
imail is not VC-funded. There's no board pushing growth-at-all-costs decisions. Every feature we ship has to earn its place in the codebase — and on the changelog, which we publish, because we're not afraid of you reading it.
If you want to talk: [email protected]. I read every email.
Every shipped feature is dated and listed. Bugs we fixed, too. You can see exactly what we worked on this month. If it's been quiet, it's been quiet — we won't fake activity.
When something's degraded, you see it before your customers do. Live status of every component (API, send workers, IMAP idle pool, iBrain). No "we're aware of an issue" tweets 6 hours after the fact.
No "10M+ users" stock photo claim. The numbers — signups, workspaces, emails sent — are live on the homepage. Refresh and they tick up.
Sign up, use the product, decide if it's worth the $29. No SDR will hassle your inbox. We don't have a discovery-call funnel. We don't have an SDR team. The product is the discovery call.
Zeeshan personally answers support emails until we hire someone who can do it better. Replies in hours during UAE business hours, within a day outside that. No chatbots pretending to be Sarah.
One founder, a few part-time helpers, and a roadmap that's mostly customer-driven. We don't have a head of growth. We have a Trello board.
Wrote the original SMTP queue. Still ships features at 1am. Answers most support tickets.
Runs the warmup network, DMARC pipeline, and anything that wakes up at 3am. Sleeps when it doesn't.
When you ask for a feature we ship more often than once, we add a person. Not the other way around.
